The Da-house is a reference to japanese residential architecture through its use of materials and its close relationship with nature. Situated on the black sea, Ukrainian architect Igor Sirotov has utilized concrete and glass extensively, seeking to establish a traditional yet modern home, while the greenery employed demonstrates a clear connection with the natural environment in which the dwelling sits.

The 3,767 square foot (350 square meters) proposal provides accommodation over one storey with a two car garage at basement level. Internally the project comprises a large living area with an adjoining kitchen, two bedrooms and three bathrooms. Sirotov has attempted to instill a sense of warmth and comfort to these more intimate spaces in contrast to the scheme’s uncompromising exterior.
